Peet studied history in Columbia University where she auditioned for acting teacher Uta Hagen and decided to become an actress after taking Hagen’s class.

Amanda’s first screen performance was a television commercial for Skittles.  Her early roles included a guest role on the TV series Law & Order. She made her film debut in Animal Room in 1995. Peet’s first role in a big released feature film came in 2000: The Whole Nine Yards which, together with Whipped helped her elevated her acting status. That same year, she was voted one of the 50 Most Beautiful People in the World by People magazine. 

Amanda is gorgeous and there are a few of her movies that I absolutely love, one of them is: Something’s Gotta Give co-starring with Jack Nicolson, Diane Keaton and Keanu Reeve. In it she plays the daughter of Diane Keaton and had a short fling with Jack Nicolson. A great romantic comedy for those who are looking for a great laugh and a lot of romance!
